Blue Valentine

 Ryan Gosling, Michelle Williams "Blue Valentine"2010

"I feel like men are more romantic than women. When we get married we marry, like, one girl, 'cause we're resistant the whole way until we meet one girl and we think I'd be an idiot if I didn't marry this girl she's so great. But it seems like girls get to a place where they just kinda pick the best option... 'Oh he's got a good job.' I mean they spend their whole life looking for Prince Charming and then they marry the guy who's got a good job and is gonna stick around."

Fight Club

Brad Pitt, Edward Norton "Fight Club" 1999

 "You wake up at Seatac, SFO, LAX. You wake up at O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, BWI. Pacific, mountain, central. Lose an hour, gain an hour. This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time. You wake up at Air Harbor International. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?" 

I´m Not Jude

All are Bob Dylan "I´m Not There" 2007 

"Doesn't really matter, you know, what kind of nasty names people invent for the music. But, uh, folk music is just a word, you know, that I can't use anymore. What I'm talking about is traditional music, right, which is to say it's mathematical music, it's based on hexagons. But all these songs about, you know, roses growing out of people's brains and lovers who are really geese and swans are turning into angels - I mean, you know, they're not going to die. They're not folk music songs. They're political songs. They're already dead. You'd think that these traditional music people would - would gather that mystery, you know, is a traditional fact, you know, seeing as they're all so full of mystery." 

The Reader

Kate Winslet "The Reader"

"She had favourites. Girls, mostly young. We all remarked on it, she gave them food and places to sleep. In the evening, she asked them to join her. We all thought - well, you can imagine what we thought. Then we found out - she was making these women read aloud to her. They were reading to her. At first we thought this guard... this guard is more sensitive... she's more human... she's kinder. Often she chose the weak, the sick, she picked them out, she seemed to be protecting them almost. But then she dispatched them. Is that kinder? "

The Secret

Iris Murdoch

Judi Dench "Iris"

"Education doesn't make you happy. And what is freedom? We don't become happy just because we are free, if we are. Or because we have been educated, if we have. But because education may be the means by which we realize we are happy. It opens our eyes, our ears. Tells use where delights are lurking. Convinces us that there is only one freedom of any importance whatsoever: that of the mind. And give us the assurance, the confidence, to walk the path our mind, our educated mind, offers"

"Rome" HBO serie

These being the words of Marcus Tullius Cicero: "When I was a young man, I defended the State. As an old man, I shall not abandon it. I give sincere thanks to Mark Antony, who has generously presented me with the most promising theme imaginable. I address you directly, Antony. Please listen as if you... as if you...please listen, as if you were sober and intelligent, and not a drink-sodden, sex-addled wreck...You are certainly not without accomplishments: it is a rare man who can boast of becoming a bankrupt before even coming of age. You have brought upon us war, pestilence and destruction. You are Rome's Helen of Troy. But then... but then...a woman's role has always suited you best."

A Message from Loreena

To everything there is a season and so it is that our lives come and go. It is with sadness that I relay that my mother has recently passed away. Although this truly lies on the more private side of my life, I feel compelled to share this note as a tribute to her, rather than for seeking condolences.

Loreena McKennitt

She was a remarkable woman in many respects, a nurse in her own right and in relation to my career, she would always point out to anyone within ear shot that “ SHE was the FIRST PRODUCER.” Ah, my mother, she was never short on a bit of dry wit.

On another level, it can safely be said, that my career would not have occurred at all without her. Both of my parents were proud of what I did (on the most part) and were greatly supportive. My mother in particular, lugged her young, tom -boyish red haired daughter to any and every musical, or theatrical production within driving distance of Morden Manitoba . She enrolled me in piano lessons at the age of 5 and in some years, travelled with me every week 80 miles to Winnipeg as I followed my music teacher there. She brought my brother and I regularly each summer to an outdoor musical theatre called Rainbow Stage where I briefly performed in my late teens, and then traipsed across the wide provinces of Manitoba and Ontario when I moved to Stratford to work in the theatre there.

She advanced me a loan for my first recording ( Elemental) in 1985, after I had packed in the notion of becoming a veterinarean and saved any concerns or objections to this uncertain musical career path for her more private conversations with trusted friends ( I am proud to say I DID pay her back!)

For those of us who have been blessed with getting to know our mothers, particularly in our adult hood, one can attest to continued love and appreciation ( and even some exasperation!)of them on different and evolving levels…as a friend, a confident, a fellow traveler and later as roles change, as someone who may come to depend on you.

It has been an incredible privilege to have cared for my mother in these past years and I can honestly say I never stopped learning from her and I expect I will continue to yet as more layers of who she was become revealed through family and friends in our reminiscences. She could be as fierce an advocate as you could find and never hesitated to question things. Growing up in the depression, she respected the value of things and the hard work it took to acquire or achieve something. And although she did not wear many of her personal thoughts on her sleeve, she was who she was, in the way she lived her life and how she did things, many for the communities of which she became a part.

As sad as this occasion is, it is truly one for celebration. On the occasion of her passing, I would like to raise a toast to all parents, grandparents and friends who have played and continue to play fundamental roles in the shaping of their children’s , grandchildren’s and all our lives and the incredible interwoven legacies they leave with us, legacies for which we must be truly thankful.

Naomi Watts "21 Grams"

"Katie could have lived. She'd be alive right now but that bastard left her there. Laying in the street. He left the three of them like animals. He didn't care. She could be here with me. That son of a bitch is walking the streets, and I can't even go into their room. I wanna kill him. I'm gonna kill Jack Jordan. I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch. "

Monster

Charlize Cheron "Monster"

Selby: We can be as different as we wanna be, but you can't kill people! 
Aileen: SAYS WHO? I'm good with the Lord. I'm fine with him. And I know how you were raised, alright? And I know how people fuckin' think out there, and fuck, it's gotta be that way. They've gotta tell you that 'Thou shall not kill' shit and all of that. But that's not the way the world works, Selby. Cuz I'm out there every fuckin' day living it. Who the fuck knows what God wants? People kill each other every day and for what? Hm? For politics, for religion, and THEY'RE HEROES! No, no... there's a lot of shit I can't do anymore, but killing's not one of them. And letting those fucking bastards go out and rape someone else isn't either! 

Mad Words

Jack Nicholson "The Shinning"

Have you ever had a SINGLE MOMENT'S THOUGHT about my responsibilities? Have you ever thought, for a single solitary moment about my responsibilities to my employers? Has it ever occurred to you that I have agreed to look after the OVERLOOK Hotel until May the FIRST. Does it MATTER TO YOU AT ALL that the OWNERS have placed their COMPLETE CONFIDENCE and TRUST in me, and that I have signed a letter of agreement, a CONTRACT, in which I have accepted that RESPONSIBILITY? Do you have the SLIGHTEST IDEA, what a MORAL AND ETHICAL PRINCIPLE IS, DO YOU? Has it ever occurred to you what would happen to my future, if I were to fail to live up to my responsibilities? Has it ever occurred to you? HAS IT?

[slaps Barbara again]
Sheba Hart: You've cost me my family!
Barbara Covett: No, no, take some responsibility! I gave you EXACTLY what you wanted! You'd still be stuck in that marriage without me.

Barbara Covett: You can't accept it yet, but...
Sheba Hart: You think I wanted to be here with you?
Barbara Covett: You need me, I'm your friend!
Sheba Hart: You put me in prison, I could get TWO years!
Barbara Covett: They'll fly by! I'll visit you every week! We've so much life to live together!
Sheba Hart: You think this is a love affair? A relationship? What, sticky gold stars, and - and a strand of my hair? A sticker from Pizza Express? It's a flat in the Archway Road and you think you're Virginia frigging Woolf! And where did you get my hair? Did you pluck it from the bath with some special fucking tweezers?

"Huh? Nothing? Nothing comes from nothing. You have a conscience, I know you do. That is why you came here in the first place. Or are you like all the other British. Just here to fuck and to take away? No? Why else would I trust you with my family? You are like my own son."

"You can say what you want about the war... but, the war was the best thing that ever happened to me. Because when you have money, then, for the first time in your life, you understand it, what money does for you. Where before all you understood was not having it? Money allows you to be who you truly are."
